Management of Genital Herpes: Used for treating initial outbreaks and preventing future recurrences. Relief from Cold Sores (Herpes Labialis): Speeds up the healing process of blisters. Treatment of Chickenpox (Varicella): Reduces the number of lesions and associated itching.

How to Take Aciclovir 400mg Aciclovir is typically taken with a full glass of water, with or without food.

Always follow the dosage and duration prescribed by your doctor or healthcare professional. Side Effects While generally well-tolerated, some people may experience:

Nausea or vomiting Dizziness or headache Diarrhea Sensitivity to sunlight

If you experience a severe allergic reaction or an unusual skin rash, discontinue use and contact a doctor immediately. How Long Does Aciclovir Take to Work? Most patients begin to see improvement in their symptoms within 2 to 3 days of starting treatment. However, it is essential to complete the full course of medication even if the symptoms disappear early to ensure the infection is fully suppressed.
